BOy-ReligiOn.

Religion in its essential peculiarities
will always be the same for boys as for
men, but in peculiarities not essential
it will show the age of its possessor,
even as a stream the soil it runs through.
1t is correct, then, to say that there is
such a thing as boy-religion. With a
boys religion will be likely to 90 con-
siderable noise and fun. He will sail
his toy-ships with as intense interest as
man of fifty his grown-up craft. He
may play baseball with as much fervor
as philanthropist will run charitable
society. He will pop off his fire.
crackers before daybreak on the Fourth
and sound his fish-horn as long as the
police will let him. Old age is not
likely to sail toy-ships or play base ball
and its answer to the seductive notes of
fish-horn may be cotton-stuffed ear;
and as for fire-crackers, it may like to
drown them under five miles of At
lantic sea-water. Be patient with any
boys religion accompanied by the
crudeness and irrepressibility of youth.
Religion should be natural. Suggest
and train, but don't make the boy
Christian an artificial being. 1t is un-
wise and wrong to force his experiences
into something beyond his years; and,
alas! If you try to make an old man of
him. When youth begins to smother
his enthusiasm and cultivate the man
ners of mid-century he is in training
either for a hypocrite or a namby-
PANTY saint and we don't know which
is understanding School Journal.

Communion with God.

The knowledge of God is gained as
the knowledge of man is gained-by
living much with him. If we only
come across man occasionally in the
public, and see nothing of him in his
private and domestic life, we cannot
be said to know him. All the knowl-
edge of God which many protesting
Christians have is derived from a form
absolute which they make in their
prayers when they rise up in the morn
ing and lie down at night. While this
state of things lasts no progress would
be made if they were to offer stated
prayers seven times day instead of
twice. But try to bring God into your
daily work, consult him about it; offer
it to him as a contribution of his serv-
ice, ask him to help you in it; ask him
to bless it; do it as to the Lord and not
to men; refer to him in all your temp
tations; go back at once to his bosom
when you are conscious of departure
from him, not waiting till night to con-
TESS it, lest, meanwhile, the night of
death overtake you, or at best you
should have no time in your spiritual
course. In short, walk hand in hand
with God through life Gas little child
walks hand in hand with his father
over some dangerous, thorny road),
dreading above all things to quit his
side, assured that as soon as you do SO
you will fall into mischief and trouble.
Seem not so much TO pray as to live in
an atmosphere of prayer, lifting up
your heart momentarily to him in varied
expressions of devotion, as the occa-
sions of life may prompt, adoring him,
thanking him, resigning youy will to
him many times day, and more or less
all day; and you shall thus, as you adj
vance in this practice, as it becomes
more and more habitual to you, in
crease in that knowledge of God which
fully contents and satisfies the SOUL
Dean GOulburn.

Make Yourself.

Patrick Henry, the eloquent orator,
enunciated a great and deep truth
when, laying his hand upon youth,
he told him: " Be sure, my son, and
remember that the best men always
make themselves" Each one has a
power of self-development. He must
exert his intellectual and moral facul-
ties to their utmost. AS he cultivates
himself-his whole nature-so is he.
Teachers may direct his powers, cir
cumstances may shape his purpose and
influences may bias and modify his reso-
luton and endeavor, but the highest
and nobest force is personal-within.
An inherent energy lays hold of that
which is without and bends all agencies
and surroundings to noble aims and to
worthy accomplishments, so that the
noblest principles are evoked, the finest
characters developed and the purest
and highest ideals translated into the
worthiest deeds. The best possible de-
velopments of our character and life
are in our own keeping. Individual
exertion, indomitable and persistent,
in right ways and to noble ends is
heavens ordained means to mental
moral and spiritual Improvement and
attainment. - Presbyterian Observer.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1887-07-20

as very rugged landscape may seem
very picturesque far away. We cannot
see their faults and blemishes. We are
not required to endure their uncon-
genial or disagreeable qualities. We
do not meet them in the rivalries of
business or social life. We see moth
ing of their petty meannesses and
selfshnesses that closer association is
apt to reveal. Our lives and theirs
touch at no point, and there is no
friction. Many men who have been
excellent friends while meeting only
occasionally and in favorable circum-
stances have ceased to be friends when
brought into close contact in the at
tritions of daily life. There are few
characters that will bear the micro
scopic lens. 1t is mark of the highest
Christian love that it does not fail,
even in the closest relations, in the
most trying frictions of actual life, in
which so often men appear at their
worst. Those with whom we come in
contact may have many disagreeable
qualities and many faults or eccen-
tricities which make them uncongenial
companions and which sorely test the
genuineness of our love. And yet in
all our intercourse with them our treat
ment of them may and should be in the
spirit of the sweetest charity. No rude
ness of theirs should provoke us to
rudeness in return. No matter how
distasteful to our spirit their habits or
manners may be, we should treat them
with unvarying courtesy. Even wrongs
and injustice on their part should be
answered only by that love that beareth
all things and is not easily provoked;
by the soft answer that turneth away
wrath, and by the meekness that, when
reviled, revileth not again. In the face
of the most repulsive qualities in men,
the utmost unworthiness, or even the
deepest wrongs, we should still exhibit
love in all its tenderness, patience,
thoughtfulness and helpfulness.-Morn-
ing Star.

TintO, the Ferry-HOuse Parrot.

Tinto was beauty, dressed in green
and crimson, with here and there a
dash of gold. He could talk very well,
and was fond of doing so. He lived at
ferry-house on river in Alabama.
Tinto's master kept a refreshments
room. His cage used to hang at the
door, where the people passed in going
to and from the boats. This parrot
was in the advertising business. He
was quick in picking up words and short
sentences. Hot coffee, sir?" " Have
bite?" " Here's the place." q" Come
in alp He kept using these phrases,
and brought in many customers to his
master. Tinto not only said what he
was taught, but he would initiate many
sounds he heard. He could whistle to
the dogs he saw, and they would run all
about TO find their masters. lie tried to
crow like the old rooster in his masters
yard, but this was almost the only
thing he could not do Tinto was a
very noisy bird. He used to scream
very loud and chatter as though he
was laughing. He seemed to take an
interest in everything that was going
on near the ferry. One day he played
shu 'iiOh upoh pun holso' pop-
bin was a good horse and always
obeyed his driver. He used to draw
loads brought across the river in the
boats up to the town. When Dobbin' S
master went to dinner he used to leave
his team by the ferry-house. The
wagon was backed down the gangway
ready to take in load. Tinto saw the
horse every day and heard what
was said to Dobbn. | don't know

The Chambered Nautilus,

This is the ship of pearl which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main
The venturous bark that filings
on the sweet summer wind its purple wings
In CULTS enchanted where the siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-mads rise to sun their streaming
hair.
Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl
Wrecked is the ship of pearll
And every chambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed
Year after year beheld the silent toll
That spread his lusrous coil
still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past years dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft steps its shining archway through
Built up its idle door
Stretched in his last-found home and knew the old
more
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea-
Cast from her lap, forlornl
From thy dead lips clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathed horn!
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought hear a voice
that sings:
" Build thee more stately mansions, my soul,
As the swift seasons roll
Leave thy low vaulted past!
Let each new heaven, lovelier than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with dome more vast,
Till thou at last are free,
eaving thine outgrown cell by life's unresting sea-

ages were remarkable only for dullness
in their youth. Sir Isaac Newton in
his boyhood was inattentive to his
study, and ranked very low in school
until the age of twelve. When Samuel
Wythe, the Dublin school-master, at
tempted to educate Richard Brinsley
Sheridan he pronounced the boy an
incorrigible Ounce" The mother of
Sheridan fully concurred in this YER
dict and declared him the most stupid
of her sons. Goldsmith was dull in his
youth, and Shakespeare, Gibbon, Davy
and Dryden do not appear to have eX-
hibited in their childhood even the
common elements of future success.
When Berzelius, the eminent Swedish
chemist, left school for the university
the words Indifferent in behavior
and of doubtful hope" were scored
against his name, and after he entered
the university he narrowly escaped
being turned back. On one of his first
visits to the laboratory, when nineteen
years old, he was tainted with the
inquiry whether he understood the
difference between laboratory and a
Kitchen" Walter Scott had the credit
of having I" the thickest skull in the
school," though DR.. Blair told the
teacher that many bright rays of future
genius shOne through the same thick
skull" Milton and Swift were Justly
celebrated for stupidity in childhood.
The great Isaac Barrows' father used
to say that if it pleased God to take
from him any of his children he hoped
itmght be Isaac, as the least promising.
Calvius, the greatest mathematician of
his age, was so stupid in his boyhood
that his teachers could make nothing
of him till they tried him in geometry.
COrraci, the celebrated painter, was so
inapt in his youth that his masters ad-
vised him to restrict his ambition to
the grinding of colors. "One of the
most popular authoresses of the present
day." says an English writer, g could
not read when she was seven. Her
mother was rather uncomfortable about
it, but said that as everybody did learn,
with opportunity, she supposed her
child would do so at last. BY eighteen
the apparently slow genius paid the
heavy but inevitable debts of her father
from the profits of her first work, and
before thirty had published thirty vol
umes." DIR. Scott, the commentator
could not compose theme when twelve
years old; and even at later age Dr.
Adam Clark, after incredible effort
failed to commit to memory a poem OF
few stanzas only. AT nine years OF
age one who afterwards became g
chief-justice in this country was, during
whole winter, unable to commit tC
memory little poem found in one OF
our school-books.-Selected.
